Any recommendations on insurance companies that are willing to cover multi-use 1890's buildings?

Hey Samantha, I would recommend speaking with as many qualified lenders to see which route makes the most sense. 

I recommend reading “Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties” - I found it to be very helpful when I got started investing 2.5 years ago.

That reason is most likely price.I would recommend linking all the reports you have in the MLS and shortening the due diligence period if falling out contracts have hurt your marketing effort.

Each platform offers unique features that I find intriguing and that align with my requirements, such as no monthly fees, interest-earning potential, and robust digital tools for financial management.Before I make a decision, I wanted to ask if any of you have experience with these banks or if you have other recommendations that fit the bill.

I would strongly recommend working with an accountant here.

I'd recommend closing on a 2-4 unit property that needs some work but would still qualify for traditional financing. 

@Ernest FoxI recommend speaking with an accountant that specializes in real estate taxation to discuss your options and advise you through this process and throughout the year. 

Highly recommend. 

Not a recommendation, but worth experimenting, if direct booking is part of your strategy.
